Just finished Louis Theroux's The Call of the Weird - a fantastic read for fans of the man himself and/or his Weird Weekend series. I know it's cliched, but he really does write like he talks.
I'm now reading Hunter S Thomson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - I know it's considered a classic, but I'm already finding it's manic style a little tiresome and I'm only up to chapter 4. I shall persevere, though.
Lee Evans - The Life Of Lee
great autobiography by a great man
4/5
The Backpacker - John Harris
true story of a guy's misadventures in Thailand and other dodgy places
Just finished "The second book of general ignorance"
by the QI team (as on BBC2)
